Fabrizio Donati

I received BSc and MSc in Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, then I moved to London to start PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2012.

I am really into fluid dynamics (experimental or computational, anything!), especially passionate about automotive and aerospace aerodynamics. I love Formula 1, cars in general and trains, music, football, cooking, travelling and LEGO!

My project is about estimating pressure in cardiovascular compartments non-invasively from PC-MRI. I have focused my research on improving the mapping of viscous pressure in the vasculature, through the solution of a Poisson equation on pressure, as we believe that friction stresses represent a potential biomarker for disease conditions. I am currently working on a Finite Difference formulation to reduce the impact on noise when computing pressure from the velocity vector fields from imaging data.
